If you don’t enjoy sipping drinks at a lakeside deck or chugging a beer on a roof top patio, then maybe the Okanagan is not for you! But, if these antics tickle your fancy, then you have come to the right place! The long, hot summer days and all around mild climate are the perfect combination for outdoor dining and drinking.

Indoor choices include quaint tearooms, upscale lounges, trendy coffee shops and every variety of pub and sports bar. The finer selections of dining are found along the water, downtown, golf courses, hotels and especially at wineries. Here you will experience some of the tastiest dishes around, perfectly paired with a large glass of local vino.
Dining out in the Okanagan can be as formal or as casual as you want it to be. From light fare served on a patio to a classic gourmet feast served in one of the many extravagant dining rooms. Vernon, Kelowna, Penticton & the South Okanagan offer an outstanding variation of savory dining choices. Whatever your belly desires, you will be able to find it.
Working alongside our magnificent and burgeoning wine industry, the Okanagan is stepping up to the “plate” and making a definite impact among food critics!
The rich agricultural landscape of the entire Okanagan Valley provides an abundance of tasty menu items at local restaurants and eateries. There is a great selection of excellent quality organic and natural foods available at farmers markets, seasonal roadside stands and grocers throughout the valley. From farm-fresh produce, grain fed hens and beef, to handpicked fruits & veggies, chefs and chefs-at-heart, bring the taste of the Okanagan to life. Join the other culinary enthusiasts in the Okanagan on an adventurous search for great food, in your kitchen or in one of ours!
